and boy am I glad

It wasn't till recently that I realized there's an upstate NY accent. It's all nasally, with open vowels - lots of eenh and wanh sounds. And words ending with 't' turn into a kind of grunt. 'Didn't' becomes 'dinh', 'different' comes out 'diffrenh'

I don't talk that way; the one Oneonta word I've picked up is "prolly". -I'll prolly write something even more boring tomorrow.

In fact, I picked up more pronounciation weirdness from my brief stint in the midwest - to this day I still say 'halse' instead of 'house'.

But as yet I've managed to avoid adopting the Phillean 'wudder', thank god.
